Direct Carrier Billing

Increase your revenue and achieve higher conversion rates by offering a smooth and secure purchasing experience

Direct Billing is a payment method that allows digital content or service purchases to be billed directly to the user's mobile phone bill

For what types of purchases?

> Directly from their mobile subscription, customers can purchase from major e-retailers, including content such as:

Applications and games

Vidéo and music

Digital services

No more need for credit cards or specific accounts!

This simple payment method is appreciated by both customers and merchants.

> Users pay securely without the need for two-factor authentication, which can slow down the process.

> All purchases are clearly consolidated on their monthly bill.

> Consequently, merchants benefit from a digital payment solution with a fully integrated checkout process within their environment, leading to higher conversion rates as there are significantly fewer transaction interruptions compared to credit card payments.

" We needed a simple mobile payment solution for consumers and secure for content providers. Orange provided us with a tailored solution. Today, this deployment gives us a better ability to acquire new users for our merchants, while continuing to prevent fraudulent transactions "
Laurent Frainais - CEO Boku

Functioning

With Direct Billing, users access simplified and secure payments directly billed to their mobile phone invoice or deducted from their prepaid credit. It is enough to select "Payment via Mobile Invoice" during the transaction or in the user account settings.

This service can be used both for purchases made on smartphones, as well as on computers, tablets, gaming consoles, or even smart TVs.

The process takes place entirely within the merchant's pages environment.

There is no break in the customer journey (no operator payment panel).

We use the Pay with Orange Bill API, which can be integrated into various environments and with different user flows.

The Pay with Orange Bill API also enables coverage of all Orange subsidiaries in Europe and MEA (Middle East and Africa).
